New ambulance in Winnetka

    This is from Larry Shapiro:

    Winnetka has received a new unit for Ambulance 28. According to reports, this was the second-to-last ambulance built by Medtec. It's a Type I unit mounted on a 2012 IHC 4300 chassis and carries Medtec shop order #26264-1.

    This is now Ambulance 28R (noted by a small ‘R’ by the number 28). It is a 2007 Type I Medtec on a Freightliner M2106 chassis. Larry Shapiro photo

    The previous unit assigned as Ambulance 28R was a 2000 Type I Road Rescue on a Freightliner FL70 chassis. That unit was sold to the Antioch Fire Department. It seems like the department is gradually updating its fleet, with newer models replacing older ones. This new Medtec ambulance marks the end of an era for the company, making it a notable addition to the Winnetka Fire Department’s collection. The changes in design, such as the black upper section, suggest a modernized look while maintaining the traditional layout of a Type I ambulance. As always, Larry Shapiro’s photos provide a clear and detailed look at these important updates.
